Welcome to Litsy!

Poetry readings! Ben Okri, Ruth Padel, Kaveh Akbar, Zeina Hashem Beck, and Tishani Doshi introduced by William Seighart. It was a delight to see everyone reading their works. #JLF2019

Also got to know about Seighart's book 'The Poetry Pharmacy'. So then I went to the bookstore to buy that one, but of course it was sold out. Oh well, i shall soon get my hands on it. 😎

André Aciman talking about his book Call me by your Name. What a sweet sweet man to listen to. #JLF2019

Have the book on my Kindle. I am picking it up right after i finish reading There There.

An interesting session today with Yann Martel, Colson Whitehead, Ahdaf Soueif, Hari Kunzru, and Alvaro Enrigue moderated by Chandrahas Choudhary, on the process of writing. Some of the things shared are - 1. Kunzru likes to take "boring photographs" (as he calls it) e.g. a sidewalk, telephone pole, shop-fronts which later assist him with descriptions of such things. 2. Alvaro likes to write in a café in New York. ??
